Our concept
Rico System offers Scandinavia's most
environmentally friendly interior solutions for vans.
environmentally friendly interior solutions for vans.
The base material is environmentally certified Finnish plywood, which together with low weight ensures the lowest possible environmental impact on your company car fleet.
The primary focus, besides CO₂ footprint, is efficiency and safety for the user and low TCO Total Cost of Ownership for the company and we offer a 10-year warranty.
Environment
We minimize our carbon footprint with lightweight, certified materials and intelligent use of space.
Safety
Crash-tested solutions with a focus on ergonomics and work environment keep both user and load safe.
Effectiveness
Our van racking create more space, better overview and a faster, more efficient and structured workday.
Cost efficient
Low weight, durability and the option of a smaller car gives you a strong and long-term total economy.
Environment
We work to create the industry's lowest CO2 footprint. We have therefore chosen not to use metal or aluminum but primarily certified (EDP) Finnish plywood and CO2 is stored in wood, so your environmental footprint starts relatively low with our solution.
Furthermore, our interiors are often (1:1 comparison) significantly lighter than the alternatives, which in turn can reduce CO2 either through reduced gasoline/diesel consumption or longer range in the case of electric cars. A final environmental element is that our customers can often go down a car size due to our ability to optimize space through our revolutionary solution with double floor and two sliding doors
As part of our large customer concept, we can calculate the carbon footprint of your current solution and our recommendation. This is based on the base material of the interior. If we just look at the difference in the CO2 footprint of the raw materials metal, aluminum and plywood, it looks like this.

Health and safety
The van is the user's daily workplace, which is why we have a strong focus on work environment and safety.
The working environment is, among other things, about ergonomics, meaning that there is no physical wear and tear or injury to the car user. A very important element is that the user does not need to crawl into the car or do unnecessary lifting, stretching and pulling.
We have designed our raised double floor where long drawers provide easy access to materials and we always recommend sliding doors on both sides of the vehicle so that the user never has to enter the vehicle.
Furthermore, the double floor provides a low centre of gravity and a safe and comfortable driving experience. The plywood has no sharp edges and is temperature neutral and pleasant to touch with bare hands.
Sound is also part of the work environment and driving experience. A plywood van racking system is significantly more sound-absorbing than metal and aluminum van racking.
Finally, our van racking system is crash tested at the highest level by an independent institute and therefore we also provide a 10-year warranty.
Efficiency and space
This is a key element, as a work van is caught in a challenge between always having enough tools and materials, using the smallest possible car model, and tying up the least possible working capital in their vans in connection to tools and materials, etc. At Rico, we are experts in creating an efficient and optimized work van that optimally balances this challenge.
Weight
When talking about work vans, weight is an important element and there are several reasons for this. There is a CO₂ correlation between any material and the number of kilograms of the material.
Furthermore, lower weight means less fuel consumption and longer range on electric cars. A final element is gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR), requiring a Commercial Driver’s Licence with a GVWR of more than 3500 kg. The increasing number of electric vans increases the relevance of this element, as electric vehicles are significantly heavier due to the battery, and with racking, tools and materials, it's not far to the permitted total weight. In many cases, our racking systems are about 40% lighter than competitors' solutions.
Easy installation based on our double floor
Our installation concept is unique in that our double floor makes installation very simple and has several advantages. Firstly, many of our customers install themselves and it can be done in less than two hours and we provide installation instructions and video.
If your company chooses to use our assembly partner, our assembly costs about 1/3 of the competition and not a single screw is screwed into the body of the van, which reduces costs when the car is returned to leasing companies or simply sold.
Cost efficient
- Total Cost of Ownership
Total Cost of Ownership is crucial when choosing a partner to fit out your company cars.
At Rico System we have a very efficient supply chain and you buy directly from us or one of our selected resellers. We have chosen to price our solutions very attractively. In addition, there are a number of TCO benefits:
Right sizing
With our solution often enables our customers to reduce the size of the van.
Efficient van racking
The work efficiency of our solutions is second-to-none. This is partly due to our unique double-floor solution with the recommended two side doors and our competence in space optimization. This results in an efficient and productive workday for the user.
Low weight
Our solution is often (1:1) significantly lighter than the alternatives, resulting in lower gasoline/diesel/electricity consumption and a longer range for electric vehicles. electric cars, as well as compliance with the gross vehicle weight limit.
Easy mounting
We have developed a mounting solution that makes it very easy (and inexpensive) to install our racking system and also saves you base plate and side panels when you choose Rico.
10-year warranty
We offer a full 10-year warranty, so there are no unforeseen costs.
Reducing working capital
Several companies have tied up a lot of working capital in their vans in connection to tools and materials, etc. As part of our analysis work, we also make recommendations for this area.
Low CO₂ & interest rate
Our solution, due to material and weight, can potentially contribute to reducing your interest rate on your company's financing if it is a green loan.
Long lifetime
As the solution is easy to remove and install in a new car, it doubles the lifetime of your Rico van racking system. A prerequisite is that it is the same car brand and model.
